yup .. alot of ppl have jumped in on the rave culture. at the time early 90s and up into 2000s it was frowned upon and dominized in the press as an awful drug filled sub culture. there actually were not that many proper ravers, just the same few 100,000 going to a handful 1/2

A new, highly mutated COVID-19 variant nicknamed “Cicada” (BA.3.2) is spreading in the United States.
The BA.3.2 variant, first detected in South Africa in late 2024, has now been identified in at least 23 countries and in at least 25 U.S. states. It is gaining traction slowly but steadily, particularly since late 2025.
What sets Cicada apart is its significant genetic changes: it carries approximately 70 to 75 mutations in the spike protein — the part of the virus that attaches to and enters human cells. These mutations appear to help the variant partially evade antibodies from prior infections or vaccination, potentially allowing it to spread more effectively even among people with some existing immunity.
So far, there is no evidence that BA.3.2 causes more severe disease than other recent Omicron subvariants. Symptoms remain typical of COVID-19, including cough, fever, sore throat, fatigue, congestion, and in some cases shortness of breath or loss of taste/smell.
Current COVID-19 vaccines (targeting earlier strains like JN.1) still offer protection, though laboratory studies suggest they may be somewhat less effective at preventing infection with Cicada compared to dominant strains. However, they continue to reduce the risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and death.
This pattern has become familiar with SARS-CoV-2: new variants often evolve to become better at spreading and evading immunity rather than necessarily becoming more deadly. Public health experts continue to monitor BA.3.2 closely through genomic surveillance, but it currently accounts for only a small fraction of cases in the U.S.
